   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3296
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Murphy and Bright, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Criminal case - criminal law. Given defendant's conflicting demands 
   to represent himself and to exercise his right not to participate, his 
   repeated expressions of his desire not to participate and his refusal to 
   agree not to disrupt trial proceedings, the district court did not abuse its 
   discretion in excluding him from the courtroom; district court did not err 
   in finding defendant was competent to stand trial; court made a 
   reasonable estimate of the amount of loss in case involving theft of 
   specialized software used by government agencies to create ID papers.
